1st Encampment's First Feather Winners

Twice each encampment, the counselors of each bunk at Golden Slipper Camp presents a Feather Award to a camper in their respective bunks. The first Feather Awards are given out at the midway point of the encampment are presented to the camper in each bunk who treats others with respect, is a role model for peers, and otherwise makes Golden Slipper Camp a better place. The second feather award takes these criteria into account, but is sometimes also awarded to a camper who displays tremendous improvement and growth during the summer. These are among the highest honors a camper can achieve, and something to be treasured. Here is a list of the first Feather Award Winners for 1st Encampment 2008:
